Episode 29: Cursor vs Gemini Code Assistant

Tech Break by Friday — Episode 29: Developer Friendly #2: Cursor vs Gemini Code Assistant

In this episode, we’re taking a hands-on look at two of the hottest AI coding tools right now: Cursor and Gemini Code Assist. These next-generation assistants promise to boost developer productivity, streamline coding workflows, and help both individuals and teams get more done—so how do they actually stack up?

You’ll get my first-hand experience putting both AI agents to the test. I’ll break down their IDE interfaces, plans, and unique features, plus what really surprised me in recent updates, especially from Google and its latest releases on privacy and enterprise options. We’ll walk through a real-world challenge I gave both tools: building an embedded podcast player for my website. Hear what each agent did well (and where one of them fell short).

If you’re a business owner or IT decision-maker, stay tuned: I’ll dig into the data privacy, security, and compliance policies for both Cursor and Gemini Code Assist, and share what matters most for organizations moving their workflows to AI. You’ll get clear, actionable insights on which tool might best fit your team, from pricing and management to threat protection and integration.
